Vacation Labs

Vacation Labs sells software that gets travel businesses taking bookings online, pairing a ready-made travel website with a booking engine and back office. The company says a new site can be live within a week once tour content is uploaded, and firms with an existing website can embed the booking engine instead. It publishes separate plans for India and for international customers.

What Vacation Labs offers

• Travel websites — mobile-friendly branded sites with SEO tools, content blocks and enquiry forms.
• Online bookings and payments — shows availability and rates and lets customers book and pay directly.
• Back office — one place for content, inventory, rates, bookings, payments and reports.
• Agents and distribution — manages agents and commissions and syncs inventory with marketplaces such as Viator.
• Enquiry management — auto-assignment of enquiries and bulk CSV import.
• Mobile app and integrations — runs the business from a phone and connects to analytics, email marketing, social media and TripAdvisor.
